Don't be fooled by the Conversion Practices Bill. Its name alone manipulates the public to believe that horrific abuse of LGBT people is somehow still legal, and that this bill is needed to criminalise it. Obviously the abuse of LGBT people, such as electric shock treatment or corrective rape and so on, is already illegal. So what are they trying to criminalise? Honest conversations between children and adults who care for them. They define 'conversion practice' as "causing the individual to have or not to have" or "believe that they have or do not have, a transgender identity or a particular transgender identity". If you do not affirm a child's 'gender identity' you could face up to 5 years in prison. This is not only an attack on freedom of speech, but it is anti-gay. A bill that purports to protect gay people will actually harm them. We know that gender nonconformity is far more common in children who are same sex attracted. Hence the vast majority of children who identify as 'trans' are also same sex attracted and are confused as to why they don't fit the stereotypes for their sex. Sign the petition below.
